Hi Almu, I have yet to see a data set with clear reflections that cannot be indexed with XDS. The most often reason for failure is some wrong input, most often ORGX/ORGY and ROTATION_AXIS, but of course OSCILLATION_RANGE, X-RAY_WAVELENGTH, DETECTOR_DISTANCE must also be correct. If you cannot

There are CCD modules (often come with lenses, which can be taken off) sold on Amazon, eBay or aliexpress (or even better, Taobao) costing USD 20-40. These modules should be capable of taking full HD movies (MPEG or YUV2 compressed) at 30fps these days. Some may allow 120fps@640x480 or promise

There are fairly cheap adapter eye-pieces that can be purchased that will hold most of the standard phones (iPhones 5, 6, 7, etc). They work very well and we have replaced our old microscope camera with these and the pictures are great (for one offs, not for taking time courses over many

With a little fiddling and patience, one can just point a cell phone camera down the eyepiece. It doesn’t produce the best pics, but works fine if you just want to stick a few in a notebook (or a grant …). From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of Sergei Strelkov Reply-To: Sergei Strelkov
